The abortion issue has been a controversial topic for decades that reaches to the core of every person in America. Often voters will even base their entire choice on this one topic alone, disregarding everything else the politician has to offer in the vain hope that their “chosen one” will be able to effect change on this issue.

We all like to think that our opinions matter, but so often there is no effective outlet for our beliefs to change lives. While most people have a definite opinion about abortion and take a stance as being either “Pro-Life” or “Pro-choice”, very few have an opportunity to do more than voice their concern to their elected representative. The concerns that we voice to those around us don’t seem to change the status-quo. Unless you are put into the position of having to make this decision in a setting that actually makes a difference, the debate does not affect anything.

Voting is such an integral part of the American identity. We vote on everything. We vote on things ranging from the best singer on American Idol to who the next leader of the free world will be. Wouldn’t it be nice to voice your opinion and have it actually make a difference in the real world? Why not vote on whether to continue or abort an actual pregnancy? Your vote can help a real couple to make a decision on this issue.

We would like to keep you informed on our pregnancy as if it was your own; posting our thoughts and feelings as we struggle to make this decision. We would like you to see what we see and feel what we feel. We invite you take this journey with us as we contemplate our own options and encourage you to utilize this site to vote and voice your opinion in a way that will have a real consequence… in a way that truly matters. Here, your vote will not go unheard.

Ok, let’s presume that all is fine with your “democratic” idea.
Still, why would you use you having a child (something that should be happening because you want to be parents) as some sort of “democratic” service?!?

Usually people don’t feel indifferent about their children (even while in the womb), so either you want the child or not.
If you do, and if you have *really* tried before, why would you risk losing it just because people tell you to? So if the majority thinks you should also kill yourself, will you have that as a consideration as well?

If you don’t want the child, then you will force yourself to have it because everyone else says so?

Democracy is all very well but no one would actually do it because the consequences won’t be for everyone. Just for you.
Democracy applies when voting towards something which will affect everyone as well. Not when voting on something which will not affect anyone apart from you.

I don’t believe for one sec that this is true. Fantastic (and creepy) idea to get hits tho! (especially in a time when everything seems to already have been done!)

At the end of the day, I think this is totally your decision as to what you do. I am generally a very pro abortion person if the circumstances are not right for someone to bring a child into the world. However, you two seem to live a comfortable lifestyle and have a stable relationship which are what I would like to bring a child into and not many children these days have that opportunity. The main questions are will the child be loved? Or will you resent the child for it not allowing you your freedom? Will you be content to live without a child? I don’t think age is an issue here. People can be good parents whatever age. I think you have already made your decision in your hearts, and this poll, as well intended as it may have started out as, seems to have gotten a little silly and it has all been blown out of proportion. Democracy is not all it is cut out to be. I hope you make the right decision for you and not for other people.

Please give birth to your child. If you do not want to be parents, please consider placing your child for adoption. My wife and I are adoptive parents. Many couples would love to have a child. You may check into the adoption agency that helped us at http://www.christian-adoption.org.

Hoax or not, it’s ridiculous. And ministryoftruth.com looks like a really reliable source. This Alisha person has already sought out gawker.com to plead the validity of this site. Do YOUR homework, it’s the internet–everything can be made to look like something it’s not and vice-versa.
